The Air Force Academy's live mascot, "The Bird," took advantage of his usual pregame flight around the stadium to flee the premises ahead of the Falcons' 14-7 Independence Bowl win over Georgia Tech, leaving Independence Stadium behind ... read more

Each morning for 5,546 days, Jabbar Collins knew exactly what he'd wear when he awoke: a dark-green shirt with matching dark-green pants.

The prison greenies of a convicted murderer, he says, were "overly starched in the beginning, but as time wore on, and after repeated washes, they were worn and dull, like so many other things on the inside."

For most of those 15 years, Mr. Collins, who maintained his innocence, knew the only way his wardrobe would change was if he did something that's indescribably rare. He'd have to lawyer himself out of jail.

There was no crusading journalist, no nonprofit group taking up his cause, just Inmate 95A2646, a high-school dropout from Brooklyn, alone in a computerless prison law library. ~ read more

Beaumont, Texas lawyer Brent Coon caused a bit of a stir during Friday's status conference for the multi-district litigation (MDL) regarding the BP oil spill when he introduced around seven million documents from a previous class action against BP.

Coon, who serves on a plaintiffs discovery committee, spoke at the end of a hearing in U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier's courtroom at the Eastern District of Louisiana in New Orleans.

Wearing a brown blazer and jeans, Coon said that the plaintiff steering committee asked to go through the files from discovery he conducted while representing plaintiffs in a suit regarding an explosion at BP's Texas City refinery.

The files were contained on an external computer hard drive that Coon brought to the hearing.

"I'm not sure what just happened," Barbier said after Coon had presented the hard drive. ~ read more

here is a short clip we recently took of traveling from alexandria, la. to pineville via the o.k. allen bridge.

this bridge is slated for demolition and replacement. after we uploaded this clip we noticed from the related videos, that the youtuber AnthonyJKenn recently uploaded a nice cgi clip to show what the new bridge will look like. you can view that clip here. be sure and read its description.

as you can see the roadway is a bit bumpy and we noticed in another related video that the youtuber Freewayjim likes to shoot very well done videos of roads and bridges such as this clip of his US-190 & Bridges: Baton Rouge, LA as you can tell the camera is very steady and smooth.

so we sent him a message through youtube asking him how he achieved this and he replied that:

I have the camera mounted on a tripod based on the front seat floorboard, it is very steady at highway speeds.

this is the call from this mornings c-span washington journal program which received some play at the top of today's moon griffon talk radio program.

unfortunately, we werent recording today's moon griffon program but we were surprised to hear mr. griffon finally apologize to the voters for all the lies he told and the pi pushing he did in the 2007 louisiana gubernatorial campaign. this apology was extremely long overdue.

this should be a good example to help you to understand why the criminal network selects the types of people that they do to promote to high elective office.

many (or most?) people in top positions of government, media, school, police, and military were selected to be promoted to leadership positions because they can be controlled by blackmail.

do you really think that someone like sheriff toney and others like him would ever stand up to the federal government and its increasing tyranny -- what when the feds -- thanks to unconstitutional laws like the misnomered usa patriot act have access to all his banking and credit card accounts and transactions as well as his cell phone records and can probably even listen in and record his calls as well as his computer activity -- all to blackmail him with?

sad news arrived this morning in the form of an email from our friend gunfighter who writes in part that his life is changing (for the good) so he doesnt have the time to blog anymore.

gunfighter, who is a policeman in washington, d.c., 19 january 2009 post barack obama & the end of "acting white" will always remain as one of the most sincerely written, though provoking blog posts that we've ever read.

according to a report by the associated press repeater, melinda deslatte, louisiana state senate staffer tammy crain-waldrop, sent -- what some are calling an "offensive e-mail to hundreds of government workers."

the email in question, which the associated press claims to have obtained, purports to sport a "doctored" photo of president obama made to look like a white man with the tag: "do you like him any better now? no? me neither ..... then you're not a racist."

notice how the media criminals brag about how they have a copy of the email -- yet dont post it for all to see. no blogger anywhere in the world would be allowed to get away with something like that.

you should consider that this is just another trick to cause racial fights and problems.

as far as that goes, is anyone stupid enough to believe that any of that collection of freaks, perverts and criminals who comprise the organized crime gang which calls itself the loony looziana legislature is truly offended by this email? what when they routinely author, coauthor and vote in laws that are unneeded, unwanted and are an offense to the people, the constitution and almighty god?

people who work in state government would be better off -- if they are going to do something to get fired or suspended over -- to spend their time exposing all the fraud and corruption in the legislature and not wasting time on silly obama emails.
